Innovation.

Economic Development. Artificial Intelligence.

I’m a consultant, project manager, and specialist in innovation, economic development and artificial intelligence. For the last +6 years I have helped organisations at the private, public, non-profit, academic and multilateral sectors to design, implement, and evaluate projects, programmes and policies on mission-oriented innovation, emerging technologies adoption, and international cooperation.

I’m a Research Fellow at Portulans Institute, One Young World Ambassador, Global Shapers Fellow, YLAI Alumni, and Chevening Scholar 2021-22.
